We already chatted about this on IRC, but just so that everyone knows: 
as David points out in this thread, you can do test matching on the 
command-line by simply surrounding your pattern with //:

   ruby test.rb -n /pattern/

However, there is no (easy) programmatic interface to this 
functionality. Test::Unit is overdue for some serious TLC, and this has 
made its way on to the TODO list.
